Last night, Andy Cohen's late night talk show, "Watch What Happens Live" which airs on Bravo began it's sixth season. Andy is bringing his half hour show (the only LIVE late night show) to Bravo 5 nights a week. I for one was extremely happy about this.
I am a Bravo addict. I can't tell you why almost every Bravo program appeals to me and keeps my invested season after season but they do. I live for the Housewives, Top Chef is amazing and Bethenny Frankel...well, I love her. Andy brings all of these things together on his kind of weird, super random, booze induced late night show. From what I've heard there are no pre-interviews of the guests, so most of what comes out of their mouths is pretty funny and unrehearsed which I think makes for pretty great tv.
Some of the guests get pretty drunk too (see this clip from the amazing appearance of Regina King and Jackee Harry http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=KX_V4ZiKrq4) and the hilarity of that is good enough for me. I am happy for Andy that he is having so much success. Rumor has it that WWHL gets more viewers than Chelea Handler and Conan, which is pretty amazing when you think about how simple WWHL really is and I am assuming, it's pretty low budget too.
I also love the show, because almost every celebrity (and bravolebrity) that is a guest is able to be super laid back and you will be amazed by how many celebrities watch Bravo shows and have some pretty funny opinions about them. Without WWHL we would never know how much Jerry O'Connell loves NeNe Leakes. What's better than that?
I have my beloved DVR set to record all five nights of WWHL and I couldn't be more excited. Emily and I are going to NYC in February and the official hunt for WWHL tickets is on. Wish us luck as this seems to be a next to impossible endeavor. No amount of internet research is bringing up the answer to this question. Any help is appreciated.

A New Idea
Today my roommate went to her first day of work. At her new job. Here in Chicago. This simple event has sent me into a panic. I have been living in Chicago for about 3 months now, and I am still (really?) unemployed. Who knew that getting a real life job would be so hard? DUH.
So today, as I sit on my couch, I have decided that I need to focus on all the mental energy I have that is not being used on a job to blogging. My job focus has been mostly on public relations jobs, which require a lot of writing. Today I had a moment of panic...what if while I am unemployed I forget how to write? Here is my cure.
As my days are pretty much always the same (sleep, wake-up, apply to jobs, go to job interviews, get rejections letters, eat, etc), I am going to focus this blog instead on specific topics. I am going to attempt to write my opinions and thoughts on what is happening around me. Let's face it I watch a lot of tv (and read a lot of books). I also have an extreme addiction to pop culture, and celebrity and entertainment news. I'll focus on those topics, in the style of my role model Billy Bush (http://www.accesshollywood.com/billy-bush). This man has my dream job, so I'll just pretend I am doing it, on my couch in Chicago.
Now don't get me wrong. I am in love with Chicago. So maybe I'll throw in a few of my love letters to this city and the people I am spending my time with too. As I say to everyone now, my life would be perfect if I had a career, and a steady flow of cash to support my shopping problem, my eating out problem and my CTA card.
So here we go, a blog about my job search, pop culture and maybe I'll be brave and throw a few political thoughts out there too.
Good Luck Lil.
